Trump sanctioned the International Criminal Court while simultaneously easing sanctions on Russia which is massacring Ukrainian civilians. A masterclass in criminality and corruption.

Zelensky accused Trump of reaching agreements with Putin “behind Ukraine’s back” while Kyiv’s delegation is in Florida. He said the US is giving Russia “additional money to wage war” and called Ukraine’s team a “smokescreen” for a decision that is “unfair” and “not partner-like.” #Ukraine

I need to know if anyone has gone through this. My friend is a nurse has been for in years 8+. They detained him 3 days ago. Found it today and now we have no news. Except their spouse told us their lawyer needs letters from everyone. Please help us know if any of this helps and good stories at all?

America, they are trying to desensitize you to violence. They want us to dehumanize one another so we become numb to their attacks on our liberty. They wish to normalize total state control thru visual terror. Attention is currency. Don’t invest it in evil. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

In one month from now Trump will be openly seeking to overturn the Nov 3 results. We all know that is coming. That is why Democratic AGs should announce now that if anyone tries to interfere in their election--including Trump-they will prosecute under state law. Trump can't pardon state crimes!
